Elon Musk has been flexing his opinion muscles all through Europe in comments on his social media platform X, having called German Chancellor Olaf Scholz ‘a fool’, harshly criticizing the Italian Judiciary for hindering Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s plans to send migrants to Albania, and finally saying that the United Kingdom has gone ‘full Stalin’ with their inheritance tax plans.
Now, as British MPs endeavor to investigate him, Musk is doubling down on his comments.

GB News reported:
“Elon Musk has hit back at MPs’ threats to summon him to Britain to probe him in his social media platform X’s role in so-called ‘disinformation’ during the summer riots.”
An inquiry in the House of Commons is meaning to investigate the rise of ‘harmful’ AI content online by calling tech heavyweights to probe the ‘spread of content that can mislead and harm’.
Labour’s select committee chairwoman, MP Chi Onwurah has called on the Tesla and SpaceX owner to explain his alleged ‘promotion of pure disinformation’.
“But Musk has hit back in kind, warning MPs that ‘they will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens’.”
Musk replied to a post by Malaysian political commentator Ian Miles Cheong calling his invitation to the committee a ‘trap’.
“’This is a trap’, Cheong warned, adding that MPs would ‘detain him at the border, demand to see the contents of his phone, and charge him under counter-terrorism laws when he refuses’.”

MP Onwurah wants to see ‘how he reconciles his promotion of freedom of expression with his promotion of pure disinformation’.
Musk snubbed the UK’s investment summit in mid-October.
“At the time, Musk had said: ‘I don’t think anyone should go to the UK when they’re releasing convicted paedophiles in order to imprison people for social media posts!’
But his fresh warning to MPs comes just days after he said Britain was ‘going full Stalin’ ahead of the farmers’ protests in Westminster.”
Government spokesman said they are ‘not going to get into a back and forth on individual comments’.
“Labour’s top brass appear to be keen to steer clear of any flare-ups with Musk – but one of the party’s biggest names [Peter Mandelson] has pointed to Nigel Farage as a potential “bridgehead” between the UK and US administrations.”
Watch: trying to respond to Musk saying UK has gone ‘full Stalin’, PM Starmer offers a word-salad away from the subject.
